Minnesota Twins @ Cincinnati Reds Preview

The Minnesota Twins (36-36) are looking to snap a five-game losing streak as they visit the Cincinnati Reds (38-35) at Great American Ball Park. The Reds are coming off a narrow 6-5 victory over the Twins in the series opener, showcasing their ability to capitalize on key opportunities. The Twins, on the other hand, have struggled to find consistency, particularly in their bullpen, which has been a weak point during their recent skid.

Both teams are hovering around the .500 mark, making this matchup critical for their respective playoff aspirations. The Reds have been surging recently, winning six of their last eight games, while the Twins are desperate to regain momentum. With Nick Martinez (4-7, 3.92 ERA) on the mound for the Reds and Chris Paddack (2-6, 4.30 ERA) starting for the Twins, pitching will play a pivotal role in determining the outcome of this game.

Pick: Reds Moneyline (-109)

The Reds are the pick here, given their recent form and home-field advantage. With Nick Martinez on the mound, who has been more consistent than Chris Paddack this season, the Reds have a slight edge in the pitching matchup. Additionally, the Twins' bullpen struggles make it difficult to trust them in close games. The Reds' ability to capitalize on offensive opportunities, combined with their recent head-to-head success, makes them a solid moneyline play.

Top Player Prop Picks

1. Nick Martinez Over 5.5 Strikeouts

Nick Martinez has been a reliable strikeout pitcher this season, and facing a Twins lineup that has struggled against right-handed pitching, he has a good chance to exceed this line. The Twins rank among the league leaders in strikeouts per game, making this a favorable matchup for Martinez.

2. Joey Votto Over 1.5 Total Bases

Joey Votto has been heating up at the plate, and with the hitter-friendly conditions at Great American Ball Park, he is well-positioned to record multiple bases. Votto has a strong track record against right-handed pitchers like Chris Paddack, further boosting his chances of hitting this prop.

3. Carlos Correa Over 0.5 RBIs

Carlos Correa remains a key offensive weapon for the Twins, and despite their recent struggles, he has been productive in driving in runs. With runners likely to be on base against Martinez, Correa has a good opportunity to cash in and deliver an RBI.
